• Applications are analyzed individually based on the distance between the worker’s home address and the training location.
• The training schedule is considered, including full-time, part-time, weekend, or online delivery.
• Overlapping or consecutive training arrangements are considered.
• Whether the same training is available closer to the worker’s home is also considered, and registering outside the home region when the training is available locally may lead to refusal or registration changes.

• Select the training of your choice.
• Call Info perfectionnement at 1 888 902-2222 and provide the chosen group number, or click the M’inscrire sur le site de la CCQ button on the selected training’s registration page.

• When a person is invited to a course, they receive a convocation letter with all the details.
• The convocation letter confirms whether the person is eligible to receive incentives.
• The incentives are analyzed and determined individually based on the distance to the training location, the training schedule, the overlap or continuity of trainings, and whether the same training is available closer to home.

• Training activities are recognized by the Fonds de formation des salariés de l’industrie de la construction (FFSIC).
• Most registrations do not involve registration fees for participants, except in specified exceptional cases.
• Eligible workers automatically receive the financial incentives to which they are entitled when they attend 100% of the scheduled training time.
• Customized corporate training can be organized either at the company’s head office or in a dedicated training room, provided it is directly related to the trades and involves at least eight employees.
